I cannot wait for the RHEL6 beta considering how outdated things have become over time. To be honest I wish Redhat was vastly more open about the entire process as I have a huge amount of planning to do in terms of release dates. I need to block out time to slowly migrate and update our existing servers to RHEL6 and considering the amount of testing that's going to take it's frustrating in the extreme to have no idea when this is going to hit beta, or even release. Even a 'we're 89% towards release' would be appreciated at this time in terms of organization from our side.
Failing that, I wish Redhat would host official repos that updated certain platforms (like Ruby and Python, for example) that played nice with the system packages!
